I use irdaattach to talk to my palm from an IBM Thinkpad 600x running
1.6.  Once you've successfully run irdaattach, you refer to the newly
attached device as if it were a regular serial port.  

I'm writing this email from my desktop, so I don't have the specific
irdaattach command that I use, or the dmesg output.  Let me know if
this would be helpful and I'll get the details.
